Reading Work Out Loud

Reading your work out loud is a great way to notice rough edges or strange phrasing. This is important for writers, for we tend to overlook mistakes. This also helps us discover misspellings.

Likai Chen Comment by Likai Chen on March 27, 2008 at 4:54am
Hi, I'm Mr. Likai Chen (or: according to Chinese tradition spelled: Chern Likai, as Chen is my family name. ) and I'm a freelance author writing juvenile fiction books and children's storybooks in English. I live in China. My first juvenile fiction book, Shuisheng the Mallard, published by www.millcreekpress.com in Salt Lake City, which is on sale on amazon, is a long story about a group of mild ducks in China flying to the south for the coming winter. They meet what dangers and difficultiies on the way? How about their journey?What kind of Chinese folk tales I put into the story? Also want to see the many illustrations I made for the book? Go to amazon and Mill Creek Press!

My Impressions - Barbara Walters Show & Academy Awards - Morgan Mandel

I've got a sore throat, which means a cold or the dreaded flu, but I got bored with sleeping.

To break the monotony, I watched Barbara Walters interview:

Miley Cyrus - or Destiny Hope Cyrus, which was the first name her parents gave her. She's 15 years old and already owns an entire wing in her parents' home. What a life!
Very engaging young girl who seems to have her head on straight despite all of her notoriety.

I also watched Barbara Walters interview Ellen Page, a very pretty 21 year old, very sensible, but she just had to close the interview singing a song which I can't get out of my head - nice little ditty.

Vanessa Williams - who spoke about the controversy over her nude photos and admitted they weren't worth it in the long run. Very lovely woman who admitted she, like many other movie stars, uses Botox.

Harrison Ford - who says his new Indiana Jones movie, set for release in May, will not hide the passage of time. Harrison himself is now 65, but doesn't look it.

I love the glamor of the Academy Awards. I particularly enjoy watching what the stars wear and how their hair is done. Sometimes they look completely different in person than on the sample movie clips shown.

Many of the women are wearing strapless gowns - which always make me a bit nervous - how do they keep them up without spilling out of them?

Anyway, I haven't seen any of the movies, but will eventually do so on DVD.

I just watched Tilda Swinton win supporting actress. She looked totally surprised. It was refreshing to see that much spontaneity.

Anyway, I'm signing off now so I can enjoy the rest of the Awards - Also to Dream that some day my romantic comedy, GIRL OF MY DREAMS by Morgan Mandel can be made into a movie - Well, I did say it was a dream, didn't I?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
